Close to five years since their last record, Leeds denizens Autobahn re-enter the fray with the of their third record, Ecstasy of Ruin. Many of the hallmarks of their characteristic blend of industrial post-punk remain intact, but under the bonnet they're a much leaner, more focused machine. Live drums have given way to drum-machines and sample-based percussion, and with it the band reconfigure their typically blackened aesthetic into a hardened take on Electronic Body Music. As with their previous record, it's an entirely self-produced collection, recorded between two self-built studios on a range of analogue equipment, the ghosts of their industrial forefathers haunting the circuits. Indeed, some of Ecstasy of Ruin was made with pieces salvaged from Martin Hannett's legendary studio. Autobahn certainly feel part of the long tradition of crepuscular music to emanate from Northern Britain, be that the transgressive activities of COUM Transmissions from Hull, Sheffield Steel City or the gothic history of their very own hometown. Ecstasy of Ruin also speaks to right now. No album opens with a song titled 'Post-History' and closes with another called 'Class War' without some concession to the current condition and it's place within it. Industrial music by it's nature is a physical concern, often placing the human body and it's experience in the context of technology, reflecting the varying trevails of late capitalism. Autobahn strive towards some kind of articulation of that conflict. The music is unrelentingly taut and terse, and the vocals of Craig Johnson are invariably intense, though lyrically there are repeated allusions to beauty, empowerment and, ostensibly, hope. As such, the title of the album is an instructive one - there's some kind of bliss in all this mess. Autobahn don't so much push against the pain as ride it out to it's (il)logical ends.1.

Debut album follows the of two self-titled EPs over the past 12 months. Dissemble was recorded with Matt Peel at The Nave, a hometown studio situated in the wholly appropriate setting of a disused church. The band co-produced the record with Peel over six intense weeks, dedicating all of their time to the studio and taking potentially unhealthy cues from the legacy of notorious obsessive, Martin Hannett. The result is an album that pushes the band through various degrees of light and shade, but ultimately into new, unexpected sonic spaces. Album Tracks 1. Missing in Action 2. Immaterial Man 3.
